Romantic day or obligation?.

#relationships #ValentinesDay #qa #love #b

We all know that Valentine's Day is commemorated in honor of that famous priest who secretly married people many years ago and that most people think it is a romantic day so alcunal cultures inculcated it so, but there are also cases to consider that it is more than all a day taken as a commercial day.

Today I went out to the mall and with more than 15 days to go I find stores flooded with balloon bears and hearts everywhere at super high prices and I don't know despite my young age I have come to a personal conclusion that tells me that there should not be a valentine's day since the day of love should be every day of the year.

love is not expressed through a balloon or a heart or even a stuffed animal, at least for me it is not.

Love is expressed in the day to day in the company in those moments of sadness or illness, or maybe the support during an exam is in the daily routine a breakfast or maybe a very strong hug in that moment when you feel alone.
already in March is bear or balloon is useless if when you need that person is not by your side.
I have heard couples fight because if you forget the gift I get mad at you, even couples who ask others what you want me to buy you to show you that I love you.

There is also the competition where if my gift is bigger than yours it is me who loves you more and no, this is not the way I consider appropriate to show love.
that's why i come back and ask:

what is valentine's day for you?
i appreciate very much coherent comments

We live in a society that forges a relationship around a lucrative end, Valentine's Day is February 14 for us, or so they have not been made to believe, I wonder it will be that on other days this feeling is resting or absent, how nice it would be to live that feeling every day of the year intensely

@naf1971naf I certainly think the same thing that you as well as Father's or Mother's Day should be demonstrated every day not only on the day that the media impose it

I think that day has different meanings, it depends on each person.

Show moreTell you the truth, I don't understand the point of celebrating any of these days. I have seen children never visiting their parents, mean rude to them and then suddenly on father's or mother's day they post lovely pictures of them with their parents. Same for Valentines. I have friends who have been married for years and have spent most of their lives fighting with each other but again on Valentines they buy gifts for each other, go on a date and next day post it on social media..so, seriously I don't see the point when for the whole year you have been mean to the person or have not shown your love or care towards them but then on one day you prove to the world how much you love them.
So, to answer your question, according to me these days have nothing to do with love, romance or care. It is just a social obligation and a status symbol.

Your love and affection should and cannot be affirmed one day, as this is an unnatural form of loving. Love and affection is a daily event that cannot possibly be celebrated only on a special day. So no to me, I never had a message to commercial... Show moreYour love and affection should and cannot be affirmed one day, as this is an unnatural form of loving.

The whole history behind the fact about Saint Valentine is once again a bad thing that the Catholic Church has managed to make of it. It's not nearly as rose scent and moonshine what that Roman priest experienced, and no love was alone for a long time. But with certainty, all this cannot be traced, because the facts are based on legends.
